OF TRUSTEES OF THE VILLAGE OF MOUNT PROSPECT, COOK COUNTY, ILLINOIS:

reasons for the objections are as follows:
.

...
A. That the subject property is R-4 Single Family Residence
which part is attested to in that said property was ori-
ginally zoned R-4 by the Comprehensive Amendment to the
Cook County Zoning Ordinance and that no significant change
in zoning or land use in the immediate vacinity has occurred.
The property to the immediate North, East and West is zoned
R-4 Single Family residence and so improved to the North and
East of the subject property. The property to the immediate
South is within the Corporate limits of the Village of Mount
Prospect and is zoned and improved as a Shopping Center.
B. That the proposed plan sets forth a total of 126 apartment
units within three buildings located on a parcel of property
which has for its only means of ingress and egress an un-
improved half street ext~nding some 2000 feet to the nearest
improved roadway, all of which makes the project a burdensome
one for the County of Cook which is duty bound to provide ad-
equate streets and limits what fire protection is available
from having proper ingress and egress.
C. That the property in question is presently not located in
any fire district and there was no showing by the petition
that any fire department is in a position to adequately pro-
vide fire protection to this development under the existing
conditions of ingress and egress.
D. That the nearest water and sanitary sewer lines are located
approximately twelve hundred (1200) feet from the subject
property and are owned by a private utility company. No
evidence of this company being certified to service the
subject properties was set forth.
E. That the storm and surface water from this development
would have to be carried off through a system that is" based on
a contingent acquisition of an easement over Northern
Illinois Gas Company property for such purpose.
SECTION TI-lO: That immediately upon the publication and
approval of this Resolution, the Village Clerk of the Village of Mount
Prospect be, and he is hereby, authoriz~d and directed to transmit
certified copies of this Resolution to the County Clerk of Cook County,
to the Secretary of the Zoning Board of Appeals of Cook County, and the
President of the Board of Commissioners of Cook County.
SECTION THREE: This Resolution shall be in full force and
effect from and after its passage and approval in the manner provided by law.
